This station opened in 2005 as part of the second line of phase two of TransMilenio construction, opening service to Avenida NQS. It serves the demand of  Calle 63, and surrounding neighborhoods.

The station is named «Movistar Arena» due to its proximity to the multipurpose arena, which itself lies directly to the north of the stadium with the same name.

The station had the name Coliseo until September 28, 2018, when it changed to its current name after the remodeling of the place for events and the corresponding sponsorship.[1]
